Subject: [PATCH v8 1/3] mm/mmap: separate writenotify and dirty tracking logic
Date:   Tue,  2 May 2023 23:51:33 +0100
Message-Id: <7ac8bb557517bcdc9225b4e4893a2ca7f603fcc4.1683067198.git.lstoakes@gmail.com>

vma_wants_writenotify() is specifically intended for setting PTE page table
flags, accounting for existing page table flag state and whether the
filesystem performs dirty tracking.

Separate out the notions of dirty tracking and PTE write notify checking in
order that we can invoke the dirty tracking check from elsewhere.

Note that this change introduces a very small duplicate check of the
separated out vm_ops_needs_writenotify() and vma_is_shared_writable()
functions. This is necessary to avoid making vma_needs_dirty_tracking()
needlessly complicated (e.g. passing flags or having it assume checks were
already performed). This is small enough that it doesn't seem too
egregious.

We check to ensure the mapping is shared writable, as any GUP caller will
be safe - MAP_PRIVATE mappings will be CoW'd and read-only file-backed
shared mappings are not permitted access, even with FOLL_FORCE.
